Umbrella 1C: UV/Ionising Radiation and Dosimetry

UMB1C

Dosimetry is a central task in CERAD and covers both UV and ionizing radiation. This includes the implementation of dosimetry systems, characterizing and monitoring dose during irradiation experiments at the NMBU gamma irradiation facility, and improving field dosimetry and wildlife dosimetry by using passive dosimeters combined with GPS monitoring. The research focus includes the development of a common dose concept for ionizing and UV radiation, in order to utilize the UV – network and the UV –dose maps within areas affected by radioactive fallout or NORM.
